Who else is near there? 

[wallfish 17,078]

It's always the same weekend as the big show so I can't be there. Lots of local guys go and I'm told it's a good one

[WHGuy413 2,756]

Pretty positive Alex and I will be there. I told him I couldn’t afford to go to Pennsylvania this year.

I'll be camping less than a mile away out by Lake Rohunta. 

[Crazywheelhorseman 67]

@ebinmaine i will be setting up the field for the show. I live only about 4 minutes away so i will have quite a bit of machinery there

[wallfish 17,078]

Some day when I'm too old and decrepit to make the long journey down to the big show, I'll make it to an Orange show.

Looking forward to Bernardston next week

I'm work'n on it. Spent a day working on tractors and then had a tough time walking afterwards. My knees are give'n up.

Will you push me around in a wheelchair, Please???? Although I'd certainly get nervous anywhere near any kind of hill, or stairs! LoL

[19richie66 17,522]

I see a Wheelhorse wheelchair as one of your future builds. May as well make something you can use 😁

Ooooooo. A 20 hp WH wheelchair!  Hmmmm. 

That way I could run @Sparky over if he don't wanna push me! LoL

Actually had a plan a while back to make a little WH scooter type thingy and give it to the WHCC for people to use while at the show if they need it. Maybe even build a couple more of those little 2 seaters.

I'm liking this idea. 

Practicality too!! 

[Handy Don 12,444]

On Sunday I met a fellow using an astonishing wheelchair by Omeo. Two wheels only (with four retracting feet that lower when parked, like electric kickstands, to save power and make it rocksteady).

 

He said it’ll go over grass, gravel, dirt etc. up to 12 mph on smooth surfaces! He directs it by leaning and there is a joystick and a control panel for setup. Battery is more than enough for an active day and recharges easily overnight. He told me he’s now able to play golf again (he uses a one-arm swing) since it’ll navigate the fairways and the greens (the tires look like very lightly treaded, small mountain bike tires) and the stabilizer legs hold the unit still so he can hit.

 

It is based on tech licensed from Seqway, and has a low back rest with only footrests and very low sides so it’s extremely compact. No Kohler, though.

Niiiiice.  

 

Off the top of my head...

 

If you have a particularly nice mid-70s C Hood I could use one.

 

I also wouldn't mind a fender pan for that same vintage.

 

If you have any decent AG rear tires I might be interested too.  

 

 

@OldWorkHorse you need anything?

Also if you have any good 1" HD hubs with two set screws like what would have been on a 310-8... 

[Crazywheelhorseman 67]

@ebinmaine ill see what i have. You are more than welcome to stop by the house over the course of the weekend too

@Crazywheelhorseman

Very cool. Thanks.  

It'd be cool to see your Herd.  

 

 

We're waiting to see how the weather holds out. We haven't been able to get much outdoor time around the yard here because of excessive rain days.  

It's very likely we'll be down but what time frame will be weather dependent.

I won't likely have any of our own tractors because we have to pick up some stuff.
